    Special Secret Pokemon Giveaway at Toys R Us (Now Gamestop, Deoxys)

    For anyone interested, Toys R Us locations nationwide will be giving away the 491st Pokemon, Darkrai, this weekend, from 12-4pm, Saturday and Sunday. It will be distributed in Cherish Balls (a ball used exclusively for event Pokemon) and will have two unique moves normally exclusive to Dialga and Palkia (Roar of Time and Spacial Rend) and a Classic Ribbon, preventing people from uploading it to the GTS.

    Be sure to bring your copy of Pokemon Diamond or Pearl with you, and check your local Toys R Us to see if they're holding the event, as not all stores will be participating.

        I'm sure your CIB clearance will make things a breeze.

            Do you know if you get an event item that gives you access to Darkrai; or do you just get handed a Darkrai strait up?

              It's a trade. Darkrai for a junky.

                At least in the case of the one near Valkysas, the store has a special DS which they pop your game into to download the Pokemon.

                Since it comes with unique, unobtainable moves, is caught in an unobtainable ball, and has an otherwise unobtainable ribbon, I'm pretty sure they aren't giving away the item.

                  The way they do it is they set it up as a mystery gift, you go into RZone turn on yer DS and Select Mystery gift. You recieve a mystery gift that can be picked up at any pokecenter (theres a guy waiting inside) He then gives you the pokemon. Thats how it was done with Manaphy earlier this fall.

                    Makes sense.

                    Will there be lines? Is there a line limit?

                      Limit is one per game cart. So yeah if you have both games bring em' and get two. There shouldnt be a line as you just have to go in and leech a wireless signal from the Download center. That time they gave away mew was awful because you had sit there and trade for it from a game cart that was just entirely mews.


                      *Edit*

                      These events also almost always correlate with the release of a new pokemon movie in America. (Like In Japan)

                      Manaphy was given out when the temple of the sea movie came out on DVD and Darkrai is being given away for the release of the movie he's featured in. So that grass pokemon Shamin will probably be given out when that movie comes over to America.

                              I haven't played my game in several months, and now that this has come up, I'm still not enthused.
